Stop an overdose. Save a life.
Indiana University is offering free, online training in the administration of Naloxone/Narcan, the life-saving drug that is used to treat opioid overdoses.
How Your Help Can Save Lives
Opioid overdoses exact a tremendous cost in lives and place an incredible strain on our emergency services. Naloxone has been developed to counteract overdoses, but it must be administered quickly, something that is difficult for emergency responders to do in both rural urban areas.
Fortunately, a network of trained neighbors like you can get to an overdose much faster and administer naloxone to stop the overdose and save a life.
